There’s a growing demand coming from the fringe — well, let’s hope it’s the fringe — demanding reparations for sufferings caused by slavery in America as well as for the sufferings, primarily of African-Americans, in the years since its abolition. It’s a radical idea that cannot be supported economically or ideologically.
Before going further, it must be stated emphatically that the practice of slavery is abhorrent. That it occurred in America is a stain on our history. That it occurred throughout the world for millennia, is a stain on humanity. No amount of words will remove the fact that this inhumane practice has been part of the human condition. Those who worked for its abolition deserve our admiration and gratitude.
However, demands for trillions of dollars in reparations to the descendants of those who suffered under slavery in America in not supportable. More on page two.
They were sold into slavery by their own leaders and quite frankly I would have preferred being a slave for a country that wanted me then live in a country that didn’t want me. It was their only ticket out of that hell hole, The blacks alive in this country today never would have been born had their ancestors not left that hell hole in Africa as their ancestors would have all been killed or died of disease or starvation.
AMEN…. I AM SICK OF THEIR WHINING… GOT OUR HISTORY STATUES PULLED DOWN … IN THE WEAK STATES… OUR FLAG… THEY CLAIM ALL IS RACIST… I SAY.. ENOUGH… TIME TO STOP MILKING THIS ONE … AND GET YOUR BIG MAN PANTS ON AND GET A LIFE… NO MORE.. IT IS OVER SUCKER…. PROVE YOU ARE 200 PLUS AND THAT YOU ARE A SLAVE… SOLD BY YOUR OWN.. GROW UP …NO MORE HUSH HUSH OR TAKING YOUR JUNK…

He needs to realize a black man owned a lot of black slaves. Is he going to collect from that man’s decendents as well?
There was more Black men that own slaves then white men. AND WHERE WAS A LOT OF WHITE SLAVES ALSO. SO GO TO HELL.
This is just a way to keep racism alive we need are Country to get off the racism and unit on the real problem we are facing today like what the hell wrong with are government

Another claim about slavery. Again, I say have the “white” Democrats find an old confederate printing press and print them all the money they want.
We’ve already given you to much welfare you scum sucking leeches. Maybe we should figure out how much you useless dregs have sucked up over the last 60 years round it down and You Pay Us Back!

As soon as the black man admits to the 3 centuries of making white man there slaves by raiding the coastal villages in Europe. Apologize to there own black people for selling them off to Muslim controled ports that then shipped black people to the world. Stop existing slavery happening in those same countries, like Libya. Once they have this all done we might consider this stupid idea, but in reality not a chance.
